Waitress loses an eye in brutal Brightburn clip

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

It was just earlier today that we shared a new TV spot for producer James Gunn (SLITHER, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY) "What if Superman was a Horror Movie?" flick BRIGHTBURN. And now we have a brutal clip to share with you guys. The clip features a waitress getting a sliver of glass in her eyeball which after some blood and SAW style cringe blinds her. I'm creeped out by eyeball horror so this clip got me. Big time.

Lucio Fulci would be proud!

Interestingly enough, the clip also seems to give us the reason for the film's title as the waitress is attacked in the … wait for it … "Brightburn" diner. I guess this means the little evil guy from beyond the stars names himself Brightburn in remembrance of his first kill. Maybe? We'll see soon.

You can check out the new clip along with the TV spot released earlier today below. After looking through all of that make sure to hit us up and let us know what you think! If you need more of a plot rundown that "What if Man of Steel was a Horror Movie?" then here's the current official synopsis:

A couple's prayers are seemingly answered when an object crash-lands on Earth, carrying a life-form that looks like a baby boy. As the years pass and the alien grows older, it starts to use its mysterious powers in sinister and destructive ways.

BRIGHTBURN is directed by David Yarovesky (THE HIVE) from a screenplay written by Mark Gunn and Brian Gunn. James Gunn and Kenneth Huang produce and the film stars Elizabeth Banks (SLITHER, THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS), David Denman (THE OFFICE), Jackson A. Dunn, Matt Jones, Steve Agee, Becky Wahlstrom, Stephen Blackehart, and Meredith Hagner. The movie will be unleashed onto a screen near you on May 24th, 2019.
